Chapter 437 Incorporating Bandits
This time, everyone was confused, but at the same time, they also raised their vigilance in their hearts, and they all clenched the swords worn on their waists.

Gu Jinnian said with a gentle smile: "Brother, I'm afraid you have misidentified the person. We just moved our family and passed by here. I have never seen any king of Chu."

The bald head chuckled, with a look of understanding, and said: "Smart people don't speak dark words, you have such a big battle, and there are so many people." Pointing to Xiao Junjue, "This man is so heroic Uncommon, he is not an ordinary person at first glance, we two brothers have been stationed in the village for many years, and we have never seen anyone. There is still some vision."

Xiao Junjue looked cold and asked, "How do you know that I am the King of Chu?"

The bearded man said: "The Rong family in the capital was robbed from the prison, and now they are wanted all over the country. Although the king of Chu is not clearly listed in the wanted order, in fact, a secret order has been issued. If you meet the king of Chu, you will be killed."

Xiao Jun said: "Then how did you know?"

The bearded man smiled honestly, and said: "A few days ago, our brothers went to the county magistrate's house to be a gentleman on the beam, and we overheard it."

The bald head said: "We know that there are three roads from Changge City to Yizhou, and passing Pingjing Pass is one of them. But now that the pass is fortified, if you want to pass the pass, you can only go through our lonely mountain village. We are also trying our luck , I don’t want to really meet you, King Chu. King Chu, we have been waiting for you for a long time.”

Xiao Junjue was vigilant and said: "Wait for me? What do you mean? Do you want to stop us so that we can reward us for meritorious deeds?"

The bearded man stood up all of a sudden, and his face sank instantly, with a bit of anger, "The King of Chu really underestimated our brothers. Although we are bandits, robbers also have the way. If nothing else, we have a sense of loyalty." , you can’t do things that sell other people’s lives for profit. I thought you, King Chu, were a hero with a broad mind, but I didn’t expect you to be as narrow-minded as ordinary people.”

The bald head was not angry, "I was thinking of leading my brothers to join you, but now it seems that we are blind." He spat on the ground and cursed: "It's really a dog's eyes to see people as inferior."

Song Bei drew his sword and faced each other, shouting angrily: "Presumptuous!"

Hula, the brothers in the cottage, stood up, holding various things in their hands, including knives, axes, sticks and shovels, as if they were going to war.

Xiao Junjue got off the horse, shook his head towards Songbei, Songbei took back his sword, Xiao Junjue stepped forward and cupped his hands at the bearded and bald headed man, saying: "It's my king who made a slip of the tongue and treated the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain."

The bearded man and the bald head were a little embarrassed to receive a salute from the king of Chu. They looked at each other, and the bearded man cupped his hands towards Xiao Junjue, saying: "I dare not be the king of Chu. In fact, I didn't make it clear. You should worry too much." of."

He raised his hand toward the village, "If the King of Chu doesn't mind, let's go into the village and talk."

Xiao Junjue thought about it for a while, but she was quite refreshed. She nodded and entered the village with him.

The brothers in Gushan Village were all enthusiastic. Seeing the head of the family and the prince entered the village, they greeted the big guys to get off the carriage, went in to have a rest, helped lead the horse, and helped carry things.

After talking with the bearded man with the bald head, Xiao Jun learned that the bearded bearded man was called Li Han, and the bald man was called Shao Biao. Both of them were originally villagers from a village in Guangcang County at the foot of the mountain, because the county magistrate at that time occupied their village forcibly. In a conflict with the land, the county magistrate was wounded and a yamen servant was killed by mistake. The county magistrate avenged the public and arrested the whole village and locked them in cells.

Leaders like Li Han and Shao Biao were sentenced to execution after autumn.

Originally they thought they would die for sure, but they met the original head of Gushanzhai in prison, and they had a good talk, and sworn brothers in prison.

At that time, the head of Gushanzhai fell into a trap because he robbed the county magistrate's house and was sentenced to be executed after autumn.

After discussing it, they felt that it would be better to fight than to wait here to die.In addition, the brothers in Gushanzhai are all righteous sons and daughters, and they will never ignore their big masters and come to rob the prison.

They broke through the cell and released everyone in the cell, causing riots in the prison and taking the opportunity to escape from Guangcang County.

But he was homeless, and the head of the family suggested that everyone follow him to Gushanzhai, and it has been ten years since he came here to take root.

But the two-year-old head fell into the hands of the county magistrate again and was killed on the spot. Many brothers were also arrested, killed or seriously injured that time.There were hundreds of brothers in the past, but now there are not even 100 of them.

They have always wanted to avenge the head of the family and the dead brothers, but before the death of the head of the house, the head of the family specially ordered that they should not confront the government again. They must save the lives of the remaining brothers. He takes revenge.If his brothers died to avenge him, his soul would be disturbed.

But they never gave up. They would go to the county magistrate's house every once in a while to inquire about his whereabouts and see if there was a chance to kill him.But the county magistrate may be really afraid of being revenged. No matter where he goes in or out, there are at least two rows of guards around him, making it impossible for them to attack.

This time, I just went to inquire again. I heard that the King of Chu might pass by here. I saw several officials, including the county magistrate of Guangcang County and Ping Jingguan General Soldier, when they talked about the King of Chu. Know, who is the person who can really make them feel embarrassed.

"Do you want me to avenge you?" Xiao Junjue probably had an idea in his mind after hearing what they said, "but now I am almost half of the wanted criminals, how can I help you avenge."

Li Handao: "It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge in ten years. As long as you follow King Chu, I believe that this revenge will be avenged sooner or later."

Shao Biao pointed to the brother behind him, sighed, and said, "Actually, revenge is second. The most important thing is that it is not a long-term thing for brothers to be bandits here. Officers and soldiers often come to suppress, and we can resist it once or twice. , cannot withstand their long-term encirclement and suppression. If things go on like this, the brothers will have no way out. Therefore, if we want to follow the King of Chu, we must at least have a place to settle down."

Li Han said again: "King Chu's reputation is known to everyone in the world. He is a true hero. We all admire him very much. If we can follow you, it will be considered a blessing for our brothers."

Li Han and Shao Biao glanced at each other, knelt down together, and said, "Although we are bandits, we have never done anything to offend our conscience or hurt the common people. We dare not pretend to be heroes who rob the rich and help the poor." He is a good man, but he still has justice. These brothers are all poor people. They are not forced to go to the mountains to become bandits. I hope that the king of Chu can take them in, and at least give them food. As for the two of us, He was involved in a bloody case, he didn't care about life or death, and he didn't expect the King of Chu to take him in."

Rong Zhao rubbed his fingers and said in a low voice, "It's very loyal."

She lowered her eyes, Xiao Junjue didn't notice the sparkle in her eyes.

Xiao Junjue looked at her and asked, "Zhao Zhao, what do you mean?"

Rong Zhao looked at the bandit brother who was staring straight at her, and said, "If you really agree with each other, why not?"

The bandits showed joy, looking at the smiling faces, Rong Zhao remembered what his father had said, things in this world are uncertain, so officials are good, but bandits are necessarily bad?A person with a kind heart, whether he is a soldier or a bandit, is a beautiful person.

Xiao Junjue thought for a moment, if they were taken in, not only would they be able to pass through the Pingjing Pass, but also, having their help in the future would really kill two birds with one stone.

He said bluntly, "Okay, since you all think highly of me, go with me." He glanced at Li Han and Shao Biao, "Including the two of you."

The crowd was overjoyed and bowed their hands towards him, and the voices of a hundred or so people sounded like gongs and drums, "Thank you, Your Highness, King Chu, from now on, we will swear allegiance to our brothers to the death, without any second thoughts."

Brothers from Gu Shanzhai cleared the way, and Xiao Junjue and his party quickly passed Pingjing Pass. After passing Pingjing Pass, it was already dark, and this area was full of forests. When walking at night, they could not tell the direction, so they arrived Camp and rest on a flat ground.

When the brothers of Gushanzhai left, they took everything they could take away from the village, including meat, food, and vegetables.Some people brought pots and pans, all of which belonged to poor families, and they were reluctant to throw away any belongings.

All consciously, a few people went to the woods to firewood, a few people went to find water, and when they came back, they picked up the pot, once the water was boiled, rice was put in, and porridge was stewed.

The second wife, Mrs. Lin, can cook, and the two daughters-in-law helped wash and pick vegetables and cut the meat. Rong Zhao wanted to help, but they refused to let her go and rest.

In addition, a separate pot was set up to cook some milk-feeding food for Rong Chun's nanny.It doesn't matter if adults eat anything, but if a child wants to eat milk, he can't starve him.Naturally, all good things can be eaten by the nanny first, and the only fish caught is also stewed for her.

Now that there are more people and more food and drink, everyone gathers the money they have left and plans to buy some dry food when they pass through that town tomorrow.

In fact, he didn't have much money on him, thanks to Yin Hui took a sum of money for Yin Rou before leaving, which helped a lot.In the end, all the feminine dowry was used up.

Fortunately, Yin Rou is a generous person and doesn't mind at all, but Rong Yao felt very sorry and said that she would make up for it twice in the future.

Rong Zhao didn't eat much for dinner, he only drank a bowl of porridge, and then put down the bowl and chopsticks.She has been like this these days, either saying that she is not hungry, not eating a bite, even if she eats, she eats very little.It's only been a few days, and it's as thin as a handful of bones left.

Xiao Junjue saw her go to the river, and followed her without eating a few mouthfuls.

Putting a piece of clothing on Rong Zhao, Rong Zhao didn't even look back, so he knew it was him, "Why are you eating so fast, are you full?"

"Zhaozhao, people cannot be resurrected after death. If you keep making things difficult for yourself, you will be the one who suffers." Xiao Junjue really loves her. Ever since the accident happened, he has never seen her smile sincerely again, as if overnight , she changed into a different person, God took the smile away from her body, even he felt strange looking at her.
